Book Overview
A mysterious book with a dangerous secret. An evil brotherhood out to conquer the world. One man stands between them . . . with his family in the balance. In the twelfth century, Henry the Lion collected the rarest relics in Christendom. And to protect his most precious acquisitions, he encoded the whereabouts in a gorgeous illuminated manuscript called The Gospels of Henry the Lion. The manuscript has been showing up and disappearing ever since. No one knows where the relic has been hidden . . . or its ultimate power. Only one man holds the key to the mystery. He's carrying it in his briefcase at his son's school for show-and-tell, and he thinks it's a fake. But he's about to find out just how real it is. Because the wolves are rapidly closing in. And if August Adams can't decode the secret in time, the world's balance of power will forever be altered.

August Adams is Back!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Matt Bronleewe does it again in this second book in the August Adams series. This one is even better than the first which was a good book. Adams is back to fight secret societies and find hidden secrets in a rare book. I know the action in the book takes place in a few days time but it is still interesting and it makes the book that much more enjoyable. The book reminds me of the movie National treasure. You can really tell how Bronleewe has grown since the first book and I cant wait to see what mysteries August Adams tackles next. A great read that I couldnt put down after starting.
House of Wolves - Excellent Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a great read. I found Illuminated after doing a search online and picked it up after reading some other reviews that were positive. I was not disappointed at all. I couldn't wait for this one to arrive and I was not disappointed at all. The August Adams series is a great story line and sure to captivate everyone. I highly reccomend this book for anyone looking for a great thriller.

After reading Illuminated, that I stumbled upon at a Christian book store, I just loved it and went on the web to find out more about Matt Bronleewe. I found out that you could sign up to win a signed copy from the author and I won. I just received this book House of Wolves yesterday and am reading it now. I am just loving it and would recommend any one to read it and Illuminated. Can't wait for more of Matt Bronleewe writing. He keeps you turning the pages and wanting more.
"Chilling" Thrill Ride

HOUSE OF WOLVES is another intense adventure with August Adams. I love how each page begged me to keep reading further. Bronleewe delivers again with warring secret societies, age old mysteries, an insanely valuable book, and enough action and plot twists to make you read the entire book in one setting. Most mysterious perhaps is one of the locations- Antartica. All the history and mystery to be uncovered makes HOUSE OF WOLVES one "Chilling" Thrill Ride!
Awesome follow-up

I was really impressed with the first book in this series, Illuminated, and wondered how the author would do with a sequel.....and I wasn't disapointed. This book kept me turning the pages as fast as the first. I received it in the mail today, and have already finished reading it. This series, and this book, are definitely worth reading, and I look forward to more in this series.
